[campsite-dev] Campsite 3.0.0-rc3 release
  • Dear Campsite users,

    Today we released the package 3.0.0-rc3 of Campsite. This version is feature
    complete and all known bugs were fixed.

    This package contains some sample templates together with the corresponding
    database which you can install by following the steps in the INSTALL file.
    Unlike 2.2-2.7 versions 3.0 does not support multiple instances anymore.
    This means that for each instance you want to run you have to install
    Campsite in a new virtual host. The install process is much simpler and the
    dependencies are much fewer: we removed the C++ code so every dependency
    related to it vanished. No more compiling Smile

    The APC (Alternative PHP Cache) dependency was removed since beta2 version
    for Windows testers.

    Go to the Campware site (http://www.campware.org) to download the package.

    Happy testing!
    Campsite team

  • Hi Mugur, I am working on the FreeBSD script and I noticed in INSTALL
    document you used the original campsite apache config file as an
    example, that uses html and cgi-bin directories.
    This might be confusing to people when creating their own apache
    config for campsite

  • I don't understand, isn't it how a regular virtual host config file should
    look like, including the cgi-bin directory? Anyway, I deleted the references
    to cgi-bin.

  • It is, I just thought it is better for sysadmin to have a chance to
    copy - paste semi functional config.
    Therefore if you advice in install guide to copy site directory to
    peoples web, the config should point to this site and not to some html
    dir.
    Also if cgi-bin is not used by campsite, it should not be mentioned.

  • For the poll plugin I used an phantom section, with no articles, just to:
    1. have it on the Menu
    2. define section-poll.tpl as section template

    This is not necessary, also can include poll.tpl on fixed templates, other
    section etc. pp.

    Sava is concerned that those phantom sections could be confusing for an
    editor to have empty sections. Should we implement an feature for hiding
    sections from the section list page in admin?

  • Hi Sebastian,

    Using a phantom section to display the polls is a bad design idea. Please
    redesign poll so it doesn't need a phantom section. This phantom section
    means patches that make code maintenance harder.
